Mitsubishi Power, a power solutions brand of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI), has received an order for an M701F gas turbine and a steam turbine for the 500MW gas turbine combined cycle (GTCC) power plant in Sarawak, Malaysia. The equipment supply contract was signed between Mitsubishi Power and Sinohydro Corporation Limited, the EPCC (engineering, procurement, construction, and commissioning) contractor for this project.
In addition to supplying core equipment, Mitsubishi Power will provide auxiliary equipment and dispatch technical advisors essential to support the installation and commissioning of the equipment. The gas turbine will be designed to co-fire fuel containing up to 30% hydrogen, making it the most advanced power generation facility in Sarawak.
Located in Miri, a city in northeastern Sarawak, the project is owned and operated by PETROS Power Sdn. Bhd., a subsidiary of Petroleum Sarawak Berhad (PETROS), the Sarawak-owned oil and gas company. PETROS is developing the GTCC power plant, supported by Sinohydro Corporation Limited as the EPCC contractor and Mitsubishi Power.
Mitsubishi Power has also secured a Long-Term Service Agreement (LTSA) with PETROS to ensure the stable operational performance of the power plant following its commercial operation. The generators for the power plant will be manufactured by Mitsubishi Generator Co., Ltd., which was formed on April 1, 2024, through the integrating power-generator systems businesses of MHI and Mitsubishi Electric Corporation.
